It's estimated the Isle of Man's Child care provider will be paid just over ?4.5 million this year.
Onchan MHK, Peter Karran, has asked the Minister for Health and Social Security how much St Christopher's is paid per year for its services.
The first payment for 2004/2005 was more than ?2.3 million and last year the figure stood at ?3.6m.
St Christopher's took overall responsibility for childcare services in August last year, after the government ended its contract with Manx Family Services.
